Compassionate & Capable Attorneys

Divorce has become relatively commonplace in today's society. However,
there are many legal professionals out there that do not live up to the
standards of professionalism that are expected when handling matters of
this nature.

Additionally, many others do not take into consideration the emotional
stages that are involved in the process. Make sure you receive the compassionate
and capable divorce representation you need for your
family law case. Turn to Eiges & Orgel, PLLC.

Reasons You Need a Lawyer for Divorce

If you are considering a divorce, you may be wondering if it is worth it
to hire an attorney or if you can just handle the divorce yourself. Whether
you are dealing with an uncontested or contested divorce, it is always
a good idea to hire an attorney in order to protect your best interests.
Here are a few reasons:

Expert advice - An experienced attorney who has handled hundreds or even thousands of
divorce cases has the legal knowledge necessary to guide you through the
process in an efficient and timely manner. An attorney can ensure that
you abide by the law, which can reduce your chances of unnecessary delays
and costs.

Avoiding errors - Divorce is a highly stressful and emotional time, and it can be easy
to make a mistake when you are not thinking clearly. On your own, you
could unwittingly make errors that jeopardize the favorable outcome you
are seeking and could cost you the settlement you are entitled to. Even
a small error could delay the divorce process and cost you more money
in legal and court fees. Avoid this risk with the help of an experienced lawyer.

Reducing stress - Divorce is already difficult enough without having to worry about mountains
of paperwork or representing yourself in court. A good attorney will take
this burden on for you so that you can focus on what is most important to you.

While the decision to hire a lawyer is entirely up to you, we strongly
advise that you not attempt to handle your divorce on your own. At Eiges
& Orgel, PLLC, we have handled more than 3,000 divorce cases. Rely
on our firm to help you through this difficult process.

How Do I Choose the Right Lawyer?

Who you choose to handle your divorce case is of the utmost importance.
First, you should consider the amount of cases your potential attorney
has handled and whether or not they have had success with a majority.

Several factors will need to be determined as you file for divorce, including:

These are matters of high importance that deserve nothing less than the
best legal representation available. Therefore, we urge you to choose
wisely. The lawyer you select to represent you could have a great impact
on the outcome of your case.

The Divorce Process in New York

The divorce process can be confusing, and it is important that you understand
the various repercussions of divorce in NY.

The first thing you will do is to file a summons with notice for an action
for divorce with the defendant. If you are the filing spouse, then you
are the plaintiff, and the other spouse is the defendant.

The defendant must be personally served with this notice, and it is highly
recommended that your attorney handle the service. In the state of New
York, once the divorce process has legally commenced, there are automatic
restraining orders placed upon the plaintiff immediately, as well as on
the defendant as soon as they are served.

After the complaint is filed, the defendant will need to respond with an
answer. A preliminary conference will then be scheduled, and a discovery
schedule will be set at this time in order to exchange the following information:

Appraisal of business or professional license

Appraisal of pensions

Appraisal of real estate

Appraisal of any other assets

Depositions

Interrogatories

Notice for discovery

Statement of net worth

The discovery process is concluded with a compliance conference where the
court will ensure that both parties have the necessary information to
go to trial. If both parties are prepared, then the plaintiff will file
a certificate of readiness, and a trial date will be set.

On the day of the trial, the plaintiff will have the opportunity to testify,
examine witnesses, provide documentary evidence, and others in support
of their position. The defense will also have the opportunity to cross-examine
witnesses. Next, the defendant will have these same opportunities to argue
in favor of their case. At the conclusion of the trial, the court will
issue a decision either in writing or on the record which will address
all of the issues brought forth in the complaint and for the divorce.

Finally, the judgment of divorce must be prepared by the lawyers and signed
by both parties before they are legally divorced.
